Things I Think
Pressures In The Mind Of A People Pleaser
keep it simple
keep it light
don't cause ripples
don't start fights
life can suck
so, suck it up
bite your tongue
enoughs, enough
self destruction
bite your lip
climb the rungs
don’t give a rip
to get ahead
don't let them in
inside your head
that’s where they win
no, life's not fair
it's one big game
complete warfare
against your brain
a friendly face
deceiving smile
I’m out of place
and feel hostile
the rules don't count
flip on a dime
pressures surmount
blowing my mind
hide in my room
suffering bed rot
death can’t come too soon
just smile and shut up
